That insulation worked very well. What exactly do you mean?

The pump was free...my uncle had it stashed away somewhere. It came off a veterinarian trailer. Pumps ~ 1 gallon a minute.

ny - Me thinks that the Thubans just can't take the constant pressure like Intel's.

I never use grease in my sockets and have never had an issue. You might seal the edges of the chip with a little eraser is all I can think of atm.

AMD will rma that chip...they did for me with no hassle.

Thanks Kal, I definitely do. In the past 6 months I have graduated from air to water to chiller, and finally a few months ago sold off the 939 rigs except 1(Neo2Plat/Opty170/2GBOCZPlat/x850pro), and built this.

Sorry for my ignorance Rick, but what do you mean constant pressure? And do you mean put eraser all around the surface of the chip and the socket? Once I got the chip seated I put more Dragon Skin around the edges of the chip and socket to seal it up better, but it doesn't really stick to the edge of the IHS

Ohh I forgot to mention how I stupidly bought a brand new chest freezer to make a radiator cooler, drilled two nice holes in the top for hoses and it didn't work nearly as good as I had hoped except for first thing in the morning for a couple hours...then it's just average water cooled temps.

23 hours after I placed my order with Newegg....my chip is here in my hand.

Going to pop it in and see if it comes back to life now.
